So, December is here and with that comes the office parties and other gatherings for a lot of people.
How inclusive are they, are you and the organisers sure everyones invited?
How do we make sure everyone in the company is included and made to feel welcome and part of the team? This is something that has been around for as long as I can remember. Some people are more popular and wanted than others.
As a human and co-worker, inclusion is so important. To be part of a group and thought of makes all the difference. Look around the office, who do you see? Do you know everyone and do most people join in?
There will always be people who don’t want to, and that is ok. However, there are those who would like to but don’t know how. Notice and make an effort! It feels good to be included and connect with others. There might even be a new friend to be made.
Unless we make an effort and try, a lot of the time things don’t happen. We think of it but don’t action.
This applies to those who feel left out as well, they also have to make an effort and try to connect. It can’t just depend on others action.
Another thing regarding connection, if you can, be extra generous to any homeless people you come across. To fathom not having somewhere to live, eat and sleep is so beyond how I live my life. It is heartbreaking to see.
Each person out there is someones son or daughter, partner, mother or father, sister or brother. What is their story? Give if you can, this will make a big difference.
